This course provides a comprehensive exploration of fundamental data structures and algorithms, emphasizing efficient programming and problem-solving skills. Students will learn to evaluate and optimize algorithms through the analysis of time and space complexity using Big-O notation. Core topics include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, recursion, searching, sorting, and hashing techniques. Practical applications, such as graph traversal and shortest path algorithms, demonstrate their relevance to software development. By the course’s conclusion, students will develop a solid foundation in data structure operations and algorithmic efficiency, equipping them for advanced challenges in software engineering.
